Objectives
To equip students with the knowledge and skills that will enable them to understand the importance of industrial services (utilities) in the running of industrial facilities, by identifying their needs, operating principles, interdependencies and operational requirements.
By the end of the module, students should be able to:
Identify the main industrial services required for the operation of an industrial facility;
Understand the principles of production, distribution and use of different forms of energy and industrial utilities;
Be familiar with the main equipment associated with the production of thermal energy, electrical energy, compressed air, refrigeration, cooling and ventilation systems;
Identify basic criteria for the selection and use of equipment and systems associated with industrial services;
Interpret simplified diagrams of industrial service installations and networks;
Analyse the interdependence between the various industrial services and their relationship with the production process;
Identify situations of inefficiency, failure or unavailability of industrial services and propose basic measures for improvement;
Understand the importance of the reliability and maintenance of equipment and systems for the continuity of the production process;
Develop skills in analysis, problem-solving, collaborative working and technical communication as applied to industrial situations.

Evaluation Methodology
The course is organised into two modules:
MPP Thermal Energy and MIN Other Industrial Services.
The mark for each module is expressed on a scale of 0 to 20 marks. The final mark for the course unit is calculated as the arithmetic mean of the marks for the two modules, with the pass requirements being a mark of ?5 marks in each module and a final mark of ?10 marks:
NF = (MPP + MIN) / 2
ASSESSMENT DURING THE CONTACT PERIOD
MPP module: assessment based on attendance, as defined within the scope of the respective teaching component.
MIN module: the assessment comprises the following components:
Assignment/Project carried out in class 40%;
Individual Technical Portfolio 30%;
Presentation and oral defence 20%;
Participation, engagement and performance in classroom activities 10%.
REGULAR AND RESIT EXAM PERIODS
During the regular and resit exam periods, assessment is carried out via an individual written examination, consisting of two parts corresponding to the MPP and MIN modules.
If, during the contact period, a student has achieved a mark of ?5 in one of the modules, they may retain that mark and sit the examination only for the part corresponding to the module in which they did not achieve the required mark.
